Munchkin Latch bottles - nipple collapsing?

My LO has been EFB since about 6 weeks. Up until then, we bottle fed because we had to supplement with a little formula. Well, now that I'm prepping to return to work, we need her back on bottles. I plan to pump at work and breastfeed in the morning/evening, but she refuses to take a bottle from DH, even if I was not in the apartment. The nanny we are planning to hire has had some luck with the Munchkin Latch bottle, after a little fight. However, the nipple collapses. We're using the Stage 1 nipple so she won't get "lazy" for breastfeeding, but she has such a strong suck that the nipple collapses, so whoever is feeding her has to keep pulling the bottle out and letting the nipple pop back out. Anyone else using these bottles and having this issue? We used the Dr. Brown's nipples when she was a few weeks old and had the same problem with those. I'm nervous to move up to a different nipple because I don't want her to get used to it and then not breastfeed.

    yes tht happens because of there is no air going through the bottle when that starts to happen i put my finger like i am about to take the valve off through the end of the bottle to let air in and its better
